A street procession moves forward under a large red ceremonial umbrella with fringe. At the center, a man in a red-orange turban and maroon saffron robe, wearing layered gold necklaces and gold armbands, walks smiling. Around him, devotees in maroon-brown robes wear large gold and beaded necklaces and rudraksha-style malas. A man in white dhoti with a yellow sash and marigold garland walks at left. Behind them, people carry flags, a small palanquin-like canopy and drums in a town street with multistorey buildings. The central figure appears to be a person, identified by the turban, ornate gold adornments and procession role, though the appearance cue is uncertain.
